All that runnin' around has gotta get tiring after a while though, no?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

It's so those hos can see him flexing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

What do you think his shoes are made of though

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago

Tiny motorcycles

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

For when he needs to go slower.
Like Eskimos use refrigerators to keep their food from freezing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

do the velocities add up? If so there is still some mild gain.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I dunno. I think this is good for Flash. To paraphrase SolidJJ:

Flash: So, to you, I'm moving faster than the speed of sound, circling the globe. But to me, that's walking. Just. Walking. For like a year.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'm not understanding. So for the Flash, he's bored of walking and driving a motorcycle is much more entertaining?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's taking the elevator in a two story building.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Ha some days be like that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe he's physically tired, and is ok getting somewhere slow.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Or maybe he doesn't feel like eating a dozen honey buns and a bunch of pizzas and surge to get his caloric intake.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

I don't need to force my dog to pull me around in my red wagon. It's just fun.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

I've seen the super speed running effect in the movie. The bike is slower, but at least the other superheroes won't take the piss when he uses it.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago

He needs it to get to Chipotle when he's very low on energy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Can't even go offroad.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In the comic he loses his/the speedforce. Could imagine it was from that, but deep down I know it was just a toy companytrying to sell parents junky toys.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Like Spiderman's car

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Its where he put the kids aint it? 😅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It's a van, not a microwave.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I don't think so because it doesn't have FREE SPEED written on it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

his van.

A more appropriate bike would have Delorean capabilities

[–] [email protected] 58 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Think about doing an escort quest where the NPC walks at 25% your speed and how irritating it is to have to keep waiting for them. Now imagine the NPC moves at %0.0025 or your speed instead. If he ever wants to travel with any companions, this might be more to protect his sanity than anything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Those assassins creed flashbacks, oh my god

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He could just pick up the npc. Not like he's never been shown to accelerate mere mortal fleshbags to relativistic speeds almost instantaneously.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't read comics but I've hung out with enough comic nerds to pick up secondhand that the speed force and power cosmic are just straight bullshit. They do whatever. Think you found a problem or plot hole? Nah, magical powers specifically address that. Because magic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

A wizard did it.

[–] [email protected] 107 points 7 months ago (2 children)

You all don’t realize he pedals it

[–] [email protected] 55 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That would be a great idea. I mean, I am more than twice as fast on a bike than by foot and I can drive more than 10 times as far. Just imagine what Flash could accomplish with a bike

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I would assume the rubber and maybe even medal would all melt. Not to mention how hard it would be to control.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

something something batman makes him a super special bike that can withstand his speeds

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

He has a suit that doesn’t melt to his skin. If his people can make a costume, they can make a bike …. Trying to imagine the precision you’d need on those bearings

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I was under the impression he was surrounded by the speed force which drops certain characteristics of physics. Things like friction from wind don't apply to him and I'd guess his suit too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It would probably depends on what you’re watching or reading. It was a big deal in the show for him to destroy his clothes at the start and then start labs built him the suit that could take it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That's fair, when it comes to anything super hero it basically comes down to what source you want to pull from

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

He needs a bike with like 1000 gears

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well, in the tv series his shoes start burning if he doesn’t use his specific flash shoes. So surely he needs a special bike.

About handling you might be right, but I can’t image running at speeds faster than sound without crashing into everything either

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Wouldn't he phase while riding and go through everything?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

Now I’m picturing Flash pedalling his mountain bike to punch Darkseid in the face

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

He moves it from location to location, piece by piece.
